I love the top gear reference, but surely May would have been the obvious choice, Hammond is just asking for a crash!

I respect the hustle sir/mam/per.

I agree with the division you propose, but I don’t think we’ve got the traffic here yet.
It was a happy day for me when I could stop posting news articles in /r/AusGuns, but it was when we reached like 1500 subs and there was about a dozen random posts a day occurring.

This whole episode is giving me flashbacks to the ActiveX days.

The tyranny of the default.

“Here mum, I’ve installed Firefox for you, it’s better than Chrome in every way!”
“My knitting circle website doesn’t work, I can’t download patterns, it says I need Chrome”

Internet Explorer was effectively abandon-ware for a decade after Microsoft used their OS pseudo-monopoly to crush Netscape.
It took another tech giant abusing THEIR monopoly to relegate IE to the trash heap it should have already been on.

Comforting and Terrifying.
Comferrifying?
Terriforting?

So you won’t use your banks website?
Or your utilities (gas/water/electricity/internet)?
You won’t let your kids use the portal at their school for submitting assignments?
Your government sites for renewing your drivers license or scheduling hard refuse pickup?

I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.

Since posting the link, I’m concerned it may not be.

My understanding is that no one on that instance can see any of us on any instance.
So no, they couldn’t post to lemmy.world.
They could post to somewhere we both federate too, such as lemmy.ml and we would be able to see that post, but if we respond to them, they wouldn’t see our post.

If you look at the instances page at beehaw, lemmy.world is still listed as blocked:

https://beehaw.org/instances

I can’t see that log, the url appears to be truncated.
This is a weird one.
I assume your movie library in Jellyfin is targetted at the root? /media/Filme ?
I also assume you have your localisation set to french, have you tried temporarily setting it to us english and restarting the docker instance?
I’ve seen weird things happen if the docker instance starts before the mount, so if /data/Filme is a mount, it’s worth manually restarting your instance:
sudo docker restart jellyfin

Do you have nested libraries? Like a library pointed at /media and another one pointed at /media/Filme and maybe another at /media/Filme/Comedies ?

I’m pretty sure Firefox doesn’t know how to cast, that’s a chrome feature.
Secondly, a chromecast dongle can either be targetted locally by an app (such as chrome) or over the internet via https.
If you are just hosting on your windows laptop, you probably don’t have a domain with TLS, yes?
From localhost (the laptop itself), if you run chrome, you can probably cast to your dongle whilst on the same LAN.

If you have one of the newer Chromecasts with the remote, you can simply install the Jellyfin app on it directly, and address your Jellyfin install by IP and port.

Plex uses some fancy redirection work around these limitations, but it relies on an external service that they provide.

I’m not a big fan of anyone other than the author having default rights to change anything.
But as the OP, you could copy the bots tldr up there.

It’s irrelevant to this community which is pro signal.

Signal provides a user experience comparable to iMessage in terms of features and ease of use, but with the big plus of cross platform compatibility.
That may not be what you personally are after, but it’s what 99.99% of potential Signal users are after.

Signal tieing into the social graph we already have on our phones as user identifiers is a big win for 99.99% of users.
Signal being run through a centralised location is a big win for the 99.99% of users who don’t want to host their own servers, or find someone to do it for them.
Signal attempting to earn income through things like money transfer is a good thing for the 99.99% of users who don’t want to have themselves monetized in a different way (such as through showing users ads).

If a nation state wants to spy on you, you better be important enough to a different nation state that they protect you.
Because choosing to send GPG encrypted messages over XMPP isn’t going to help you.

To paraphrase the Joker, this isn’t about justice, it’s about sending a message.

If Julian was Chinese or Russian, acting in the same way on behalf of his country, the US would be doing nothing right now.
But because he’s a citizen of an ally (vassal), he’s going to be hounded forever, anywhere, until the US shows just how tough they are on “traitors”.

America: We fight in your wars. We spy on your citizens for you. We bought your bloody submarines. Can we have our problematic fuckwit back now?

Once upon a time it would have simply been a Telstra line item, subsidized by city users.

I remember having to do the maths once upon a time, and decide that I didn’t want a shift in my part time job, even though I could use the money, because it would effect my payments.
I had to reach an agreement with my employer where they promised to offer me at least X hours a fortnight (I can’t remember what it was), because there was a point at which I was not only losing the centrelink payment, but I’d lose the rent assistance, and health care card and all the other things, necessitating my reapplying for everything.
To someone on that knife edge of paying rent and eating, with electricity for heating… That was a bit too dangerous to play with.

I’m a big fan of both raising the payment floor and the cutoff ceiling.
People claiming benefits shouldn’t be going hungry if they can’t find work AND we want to not discourage people who are currently claiming benefits from getting work.
Whether that be through simply raising the ceiling at which point the benefits are reduced, or perhaps having some sort of “earnings bank” where earning too much in a single fortnight doesn’t effect your payments until it happens several fortnights in a row, or some other clever mechanism.

Because burning it (mostly methane) creates/releases greenhouse emissions such as CO2 and N2O.

This is a very specific and nasty example of a trend I’ve witnessed becoming common on a whole bunch of issues: climate, health, economy, pedophilia, etc etc.

Useful idiots online are spreading “I’m just asking questions” garbage about “pizza gate” and the “covid hoax” and the “climate hoax” etc etc, and anyone who has to deal with this just gets beaten down and withdraws their participation.

I don’t even know who the hell could possibly benefit from damaging the BOM/CSIRO, without some multi-party and honestly contradictory conspiracy of china + russia + resource companies.

Question for locals: do you need gas connections?

Opinions on this are going to differ a lot.
I really like cooking on gas, but acknowledge it wastes a useful resource, is environmentally bad and potentially harmful to my families health.

Side question: do you have fireplaces, gas or otherwise?

It’s becoming less common.
My last house, we had an internal combustion (wood) heater as the primary form of heating.
I know several people who have gas powered whole house ducted heating.
Both of these things are becoming prohibitively expensive to run compared to decent reverse cycle (heat pump) split systems.

Like everything, there’s more layers than an onion to this.
Older houses had decent insulation as heating and cooling were hard.
Houses built from the 70s on have shit insulation, as running a heater or cooler year round were cheap and easy.

Back in the 00s, the federal government tried to kill 2 bids with one stone here - stimulate the economy whilst improving the insulation of most houses through what became known as the “Pink Bats” program
This itself become massively controversial as the program was rorted to hell, and even some deaths, leading to a royal commision.

The whole “ban new installs of gas” is a bit of a Green initiative, but it’s becoming more common across the country, starting with Australian Capital Territory, which banned it in June.
